About
Star Island Miami Homes and Real Estate in Florida
Star
Island Miami is an oval-shaped artificial island in
Biscayne Bay, within the City of Miami Beach, Florida,
United States. It is south of the Venetian Islands and
just east of Palm Island Miami and Hibiscus Island Miami.
Star Island Miami was
created by Carl Fisher, co-founder of Miami Beach, and
completed in 1922 by the Army Corps of Engineers by
dredging sand. It is connected to the MacArthur Causeway
and the rest of Miami Beach by Bridge Road. There are
only 35
home sites on the Star island Miami.
 
Though it
is a public neighborhood, Star Island Miami has a guard house
at its entrance, giving it the illusion of being an
exclusive, private area. However, anyone can enter after
stopping at the gate. The island has been the home of
many wealthy residents, including celebrities, since its
creation. Shaquille O'Neal, Lenny Kravitz, Will Smith,
Gloria Estefan, Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna, Alex
Rodriguez, P.Diddy, and Sylvester Stallone have owned
property on Star Island. In a 1979 trial, prosecutors
alleged that members of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church
based a marijuana smuggling ring on the island, in the
house now owned by O'Donnell. Some scenes in the 1994
movie The Specialist were filmed there.
